Deluxe Photo Inc.

I agree with all of the other reviews, more or less.
The job itself is alright. I take pictures of people at restaurants and sell them back to the people I photographed. It's a simple loop of taking, editing, printing, framing, and presenting. I find it fun, though not necessarily rewarding; you're absolutely selling people things that they don't often want or need. Occasionally, a group will be celebrating something, and those instances feel a little more justified.
The pay is alright. Tips and commission are taken home daily in cash, and hourly pay comes in biweekly. There is a different commission structure depending on how long your shift is.
Where the job falls flat is its management. All company communications are conducted through WhatsApp, all payroll information is accessed through Square Team, and all scheduling is posted on Sling. I have been asked to download all of these apps, plus an additional four, onto my personal phone while working at the company. I am contacted fairly regularly outside my working hours, either for a large message about company rules or about picking up a shift I wasn't scheduled for. I am asked to confirm every single shift I work the day before I work it, and I will receive followup messages pestering me for a response if I don't get back to them within a few hours. It feels a little patronizing, especially considering the fact that I'm already receiving Sling notifications about every shift I'm scheduled for.
It would be an understatement to say that paperwork is unprofessional. I have been asked to fill out several Google Forms documents for everything from entering my monthly availability to submitting my bank account information for direct deposit. Two additional Forms are required to be completed every day during work hours, detailing the current inventory and sales at the work location.
I had to pester management for nearly a week in order to access my paystub once.
Scheduling is inconsistent, both in the specific days worked and in the amount of hours. The work schedule can be changed within hours of your shift, and schedules are only released, at best, about a week in advance. I've had a schedule be posted on a Saturday or Sunday concerning the upcoming Monday-through-Sunday week.
No managers or coworkers are ever at a restaurant with me unless they are trainers or trainees. Feedback is delayed and often either repetitive or unintuitive. Questions can sometimes take 15 minutes to answer, and corrections are expected to be made immediately and completely with very little supervision or specificity.
Training itself was lackluster. I was given links to YouTube videos and expected to study them, then given a lecture covering the same topics over Zoom, and finally it ended with a quiz through Google Forms to evaluate my knowledge. I was then sent directly to shadow an existing photographer for a couple of shifts before being sent off on my own. Training will only be compensated for after you work for the company for several months, and there is no guarantee that you will pass training and be able to work for the company.
Daily pictures and videos of the restaurant, your inventory, and your uniform must be sent to your managers via WhatsApp. Other reviews are not exaggerating; they expect you to send a video of the restaurant every 30 minutes if it is slow. They also pester you for updates on your sales throughout slow days.
All in all, I enjoy the work, but the management left much to be desired.

Working at Deluxe Photo in Atlanta as a sales photographer is basically a mix of photographer and salesperson jobs. A typical shift means walking up to guests (yep, total strangers! you should be ready for that), snapping some fun shots according to company's recommendations, printing them right aways, and then selling the photos. Most shifts are evenings (5–10 pm), with longer all-day shifts on weekends and holidays (1-11pm).

I picked up a lot here — better photography, sharper sales, time management and communication skills, and learning how to keep my energy up in a fast-moving environment. Management gives you the tools and training you need, plus all the gear, so you don’t have to show up with your own camera or anything.

The vibe is high-energy and definitely performance-driven. If you’re motivated and not scared of a “no” (because you’ll hear some on the way of course), it’s the right fit. If you’d rather hide behind the camera and never talk to anyone — yeah, this isn't for you for sure, so keep searching.

The hardest part at the beginning was walking up to random people and getting turned down with a smile. The best part? When someone loves photos you took, you make the sale, and you get that little commission boost and tips — feels pretty good.

This would be an awesome job if management didn’t lack proper communication skills and professionalism entirely. They will require you to download more than 5 apps on your personal device, one of them being What’sApp; which will be your main form of communication with them.

During your shift, they will constantly message you if sales are slow; on top of your daily requirement of sending a video out every 30 minutes to show how busy the restaurant is. (My final straw was on a slow shift, they asked me to approach a minimum of five tables while audio recording with my phone in my pocket. Mind you it was my first week, and personally didn’t feel like the venue was a good choice for souvenir photo sales.) 

You’ll be expected to answer immediately when they message you, especially during your shift and they’ll blow you up until you answer. You would think they would rather you be working. Instead, you’ll spend most of your already short shift constantly going back and forth with them. 

Dress code was not communicated properly. HR told me during the interview I could wear a black polo, I wear it for two shifts, then I’m told it’s not appropriate and must buy long sleeve button down. Mind you, it’s summer, in Florida, and a mostly outdoor venue. Most customers would just tip me because they felt so bad about the heat…

This job is good for someone who enjoys talking to people and working in a sales-focused environment. A typical day includes walking around the location, speaking with guests, taking photos, showing them the pictures, and offering the photos for purchase. Some guests are interested, and some are not, so it is important to stay positive and keep trying throughout the shift.

I learned how to use a camera better, improve photo quality, and communicate with different types of guests. In my experience, management provided training and feedback on both sales and photography. There were sometimes a lot of updates, procedures, and expectations to follow.

The workplace culture is active, fast-paced, and focused on sales results. The hardest part of the job is handling rejection from guests and staying motivated. The most enjoyable part is meeting different people, having good conversations, and making sales when guests like the photos.

Overall, I think this job is a good fit for someone who is comfortable with rejection, enjoys guest interaction, and wants experience in photography and sales.

Having worked at this company for an extended period, I can say that overall, it was a positive experience. However, certain aspects left much to be desired.

One of the major drawbacks of working here was the inconsistency in scheduling. There were instances where the schedule would be changed just a few hours before the shift, and sometimes shifts would be canceled altogether. This lack of stability made it challenging to plan personal commitments and caused unnecessary stress.

Another issue was the pressure to constantly record video of the restaurant every 30 minutes during slow periods. This indicated a lack of trust in the capabilities of the photographer. As someone skilled in this area, it was disheartening not to be trusted with such tasks.

The most unpleasant experience during my time with the company was when I got fired without receiving the compensation owed to me. This failure to fulfill financial obligations was deeply disappointing and unprofessional.

Despite these drawbacks, there were positive aspects of working for the company. However, I hope that the company addresses these issues to improve the overall experience for future employees.

a good place for those who do not have the opportunity to work officially and need extra cash, but there are many disadvantages that make this company selfish.  First, the managers tell you, “You will receive 16 per hour plus tips, usually more than 200 dollars can come out in a day. But in the end, sometimes it turns out that you only take 30 dollars with you in a day because you haven’t made many sales, and then the managers  They blame you for not selling 50 frames in a restaurant where no one needs these photos for 20 dollars each. Also, you can never reach the managers because they are “too busy.” Another thing that confuses me is working in the slowest restaurants in the city.  where there are almost never people, and managers want us to sell 100 frames per shift, this is ridiculous. In general, your salary depends only on your sales, if you sold little or nothing at all, then today you go home without money, and if you sell a lot, you are lucky. They give very few shifts, and in bad restaurants, and all the good places are given to other “mini” managers.

My typical workday involves managing my team of photographers and coordinating shoots and projects.
I’ve learned a lot about leadership, teamwork, and achieving goals as a region.
I love working with energetic and motivated people who are passionate about what they do.
Management is supportive, and the workplace culture encourages growth and creativity.
The most challenging part is balancing multiple tasks while keeping everything aligned with company goals.
The most enjoyable part is seeing our team succeed, hitting great results, and expanding in new areas.
I also love knowing that our work brings happiness and positive experiences to clients.
This job offers amazing opportunities for development, communication, and creative collaboration.

Their prices and daily quotas are ridiculous and unrealistic. After a single shift of not meeting their “numbers” They take you off the schedule. And then you never hear from them again, and they continue the cycle of hiring new people just to fire them 2 weeks later when they no longer can keep up with the daily goal of selling $350 worth of photos to restaurants that are slow and filled with people that don’t wanna spend money on a single $20 printed photo  that looks about as good as a free iPhone photo that you can print at Walgreens for $7. On top of that they micro manage every detail down to the second and then will try to make everyone feel better by sending a fake nice message on WhatsApp saying we need to be better or people are gonna be let go, and they will never compensate you for parking (even though most of their locations cost at least $10-$40 to park).
 Just a big waste of time for anyone that considers themselves a real photographer out there trying to find a side job. 

I’ve had a great experience working at Deluxe Photo Inc. A typical day is fast-paced but organized, and there is always clear communication from the team and management. I learned a lot about working with customers, improving my communication skills, and staying efficient during busy shifts.

Management is supportive and always willing to help when needed. The workplace culture is friendly and respectful, and team members help each other, which makes the job more enjoyable.

The hardest part of the job can be dealing with busy periods, but it also helps you grow and become more confident. The most enjoyable part is working with a positive team and interacting with customers.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience and would recommend this company to others.

Every day was lively and fun at DeluxePhoto. Work was organized, and everyone worked well together. My colleagues were friendly, making each day enjoyable.
DeluxePhoto helped me get better at editing photos and taught me a lot about the photo world. They were big on learning, and it really helped me grow.
The bosses were great. They were easy to talk to, cared about us, and made work feel comfortable. They kept us in the loop and made decisions together with us.

DeluxePhoto is a friendly place. My team felt like a family, and we celebrated our differences. They made sure we had a good balance between work and life.
Work had its challenges, but the bosses and the team had my back. We faced things together, turning tough times into learning experiences. It felt like we were in it together.
